I used to think I was a sunset lover, Constantly chasing a beautiful end That my heart couldn’t trust another And I’d always have to pretend
I used to think that love was like fire And I, a moth bound to it’s flame But true love goes beyond burning desire Settling into embers that refuse to wane
I no longer dread for dusk to fall Or yearn for the sun to stay I search for solace in the darkness Until the stars come out to play
By now I’d usually be sleeping, Dreaming of another day Instead the moon finds me weeping And asks if all is okay
I tell her of the spark in your eyes How your touch would make me melt How I believed I’d found my twin flame And how intensely alive I once felt
But you can’t fight fire with fire And I know this because I’ve tried It’s not worth the bridges burnt Or all the scars we try to hide
She listens quietly, glowing with empathy And for a moment I think it might rain But then she whispers to me softly; Tomorrow you will begin again.
